Hightop / Velcro type / Cowhide / Rubber outsole / Eva form Insole

Mother Nature’s “representative, designer, treasurer, production manager and sales manager”, Keun Baek Lee co-founded a brand called BROWNBREATH about 10 years ago with three friends. At the beginning of 2016 however, Lee wanted to venture into the independent footwear world and launch his own brand.

“ Being in the industry for over a decade, and also being a designer by trade, Lee knew how important brand story was. “The story of mother ground is mainly about the outsole (soles). I wanted to be able to imagine nature by simply expressing the texture of nature reminiscent of contours or wooden patterns, and seeing and walking.”

“Many of the elements that make up nature have their own unique colors or symbolic colors. I have decided on four elements of them, and I have composed the products with the motif of the four colors that each elements symbolize. In addition, we have added Chinese characters for each color that can represent the elements in one letter.”- Keun Baek Lee
